^ I'd recommend both. I liked CA a bit more though as it was neat to see his whole evolution. It's right up there with Iron Man IMO.

 
Went and saw "The Lego Movie" today. The boys were all about seeing it ever since they saw the preview, especially Emmett since the main character is also named Emmett. My hopes were not high after seeing the preview, but I was pleasantly surprised. The boys loved it and I actually enjoyed the movie. One of those kids movies that does a good job of including some stuff in there for the grown-ups.
Is it worth taking a 2 1/2 yr old to go see who has never been to a movie theater setting before?
We took our 2 1/2 year old to the movie on Saturday and he loved it. He was yelling "Kitty" the whole time. We went to Chunky's (cinema pub) for a breakfast showing and it was all kids and their parents so we didn't feel out of place. I thought it was great and it had lots of neat inside jokes. When they revealed the "KRAGLE", the whole theatre started cracking up.

 
And truthfully if you're at the Lego movie and you have a problem hearing a kid cry or talk too much then maybe you should take your elitist no kids ass to see an adult movie

 
It's a catchy tune...... in the most annoying sort of way.

thanks a lot - now it's back in my head again.

Watching "Miracle" in honor of the great game between the US and the Soviets on Saturday morning. It never gets old beating them commies.

 
Carrie - Decent enough remake, i guess, but not really that great.

Mud - Pretty good flick. McConnehaugh (sp?) is beginning to do some really good anti-hero characters (Killer Joe is a great example). Recommended.

 
Foolproof - older movie (2003) currently running on Showtime. stars Ryan Reynolds. Pretty decent movie. Lots of twists and turns about who's double crossing who.

 
My wife and I watched a bunch of movies this weekend.

Ender's Game - The book is MUCH better. There just wasn't enough character development. By the time the movie is over, you don't even know if you like the people or not. The space battle scenes were pretty cool though.

White House Down - Typical popcorn flick, not that that's a bad thing. It had enough comedy and action to keep us entertained. There are also a lot of there's no way that would happen moments though.

Pacific Rim - I thought I would like this more than I did. The action scenes were great, but it seemed to drag on in certain parts.

Instructions Not Included - Great movie. It's definitely a must watch for those of you with kids.

Elysium - Reminded me a bit of Mass Effect. Enjoyable movie throughout.

Star Trek Into Darkness - Typical JJ Abrams fare. Solid movie and it makes me want to watch the original Star Trek II.

 
Saw we recently saw Resident Evil.

Was a HUGE fan of this game back in Freshman year of school. Even though it's a one-person game, about ten of us would crowd around a 19-inch TV and watch as it was played. But, this is a movie, and no one gets to play. So a virus is released that infects countless employees of the Umbrella Corporation. Everything is passed off as zombie-esque, but it's a virus that reanimates dead cells... soooo... I don't know. It's only an hour and a half and has plenty of guns, blood, and action to keep my attention. I'll go as far as to say that I liked it. Not just because Milla Jovovich is in it, but it certainly helps. Michelle Rodriguez, the female colleague of Milla, is just annoying as hell. Just a little too masculine if you ask me. For those who are fans of Milla or are not female prefer women, in the last few minutes of the movie, you can actually see Milla's "business". Yes, you can see her "business". It's like she prefers being naked in movies (Fifth Element).

Not a bad video game to movie rendition overall. In fact, I liked it enough to award it 3.5 stars. It may be the Milla affect, too, because she's a solid 4.5. :thumbs:

 
The Resident Evil series is actually not bad. It's by-far the best of the Zombie movies out there (aside from Shaun of the Dead). Milla is quite the badass.

 
Star Trek II >>>>> Star Trek Into Darkness.
Apples and Oranges. Very, very different eras. It's like comparing SW Ep2 to Empire Strikes Back. There's just no comparison IMO. ;)

The Resident Evil series is actually not bad. It's by-far the best of the Zombie movies out there (aside from Shaun of the Dead). Milla is quite the badass.
Agreed. Always a fan of the RE series. Pretty much beat every game that Nintendo/PS ever put out for that series. Also, don't forget about Zombieland. Another great Z movie. ;)
